Amazon Leo is Amazon’s global satellite broadband network, designed to deliver fast, low-latency internet to homes, businesses, and communities that lack reliable connectivity. It was previously known as Project Kuiper, but Amazon rebranded the initiative as Amazon Leo in November 2025 to reflect its use of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.
Contrivian, a technology company providing intelligent mission-critical connectivity, has signed an agreement as an authorized reseller with Amazon Leo to deliver resilient, high-performance connectivity for state and local agencies in the United States.
The agreement expands Contrivian’s multi-modal connectivity solutions to deliver reliable networking that can support mission-critical applications and services.
Contrivian combines low Earth orbit technology with its proprietary Lighthouse performance optimization technology and NorthStar lifecycle management solution to deliver intelligent, software-defined multi-constellation connectivity. This eliminates the need for failover across networking technologies as well as across satellite constellations, with no disruption to applications or end users.
Grant Kirkwood, CEO of Contrivian, comments:
“We aren’t just providing satellite connectivity. We’re enabling mission-critical applications and services on a global scale. We’re providing software-enabled connectivity that is intelligently integrated, continuously monitored, and managed as part of a unified operational model. Our agreement with Amazon Leo strengthens that architecture. It reflects how resilient networks must now be designed. It adds true diversity at the satellite layer and gives our customers greater control, greater performance stability, and greater assurance when failure is not an option.”
Contrivian engineers, orchestrates, and manages mission-critical connectivity for organizations that operate in environments where downtime carries operational, financial, or safety risk. The company integrates fibre, broadband, LTE/5G, and low Earth orbit satellite into a single, performance-driven architecture.
Carolyn Cuppernull, Business Development at Amazon Leo for Government, comments:
“Amazon Leo is developing the world’s most advanced satellite communication network. Through this agreement with Contrivian, we will provide essential connectivity to state and local government agencies, enabling them to stay connected and share vital information, even in isolated areas or during service disruptions.”
Contrivian serves public sector agencies, healthcare providers, energy operators, financial institutions, and other critical industries.
